One day when I am old, And my children come to me, They’ll ask a poignant question When did the world stop being free?

‘Mum, what were you doing, When the world was closing down? Dad, did you stay silent, When they shut the shops in town?’

‘Did you really clap on doorsteps, And for Captain Tom you cheered? Did you give up Sunday worship, While our freedom disappeared?’

‘Were you busy watching Netflix, While furlough drained the purse? Did you order endless take-aways, And the ignore the lockdown’s curse?’

‘Did you ever see a future, Like the one that we are in, With freedom for the masses, Is a memory, growing dim?’

‘Mum, were you complicit? It’s a question I must ask. Did you speak up or were silenced ? Were you muted by the masks?’

I will tell them of the struggle, To find truth where others lied, I will tell them how I spoke up, And share how hard I tried.

I will speak of propaganda, People blinded by their fear, ‘I am sorry’ I will tell them, I watched freedom disappear.

It was not for lack of trying, We fought with truth and fact, But the media played dirty, Used emotion to distract.

With data out of context, And science on the throne, We watched in desperation, Imprisoned in our home.

So we chose to step away, And not follow the advice That’s why we live in freedom, In our off grid paradise.
